Akagera national park, situated in Eastern Rwanda and bordering Tanzania, is currently under the capable management of African parks. They have put in commendable work in preserving wildlife. Previously, the relationship between the park and the local community was strained, but this was resolved by constructing a fence around a portion of the park and initiating community tours. These tours encourage visitors to interact with the locals and provide economic benefits. Akagera national park, the only Savannah park in Rwanda, hosts a variety of mammals such as Lions, Elephants, Giraffes, Hippos, Kobs, Zebras, Bushbucks, Waterbucks, and Black Rhinos, which were recently reintroduced from South Africa, making Akagera a big 5 park once again. The park also boasts various bird species thriving in diverse habitats like woodlands, swamps, lakes, and Savannah.
